Backyard Birders
Our goal is to appreciate, understand and identify
birds in our backyards and the environs of Placitas.
The format of our meetings can range from simply
identifying birds at our feeders, to hosting a speaker
on subjects relating to birding, or bird walks in around
our local areas. The host of each meeting will choose
their topic of interest.
Meetings are held in the members' homes.
We meet monthly on the 4th Thursday at 10:00 a.m.,
January through October.
We will email all the members, as we get closer to the
meeting dates with the name and address of the host
and the topic that will be discussed.
Backyard Birders began in 2012
All members are welcome!
